Traceability System

The traceability system is a framework designed to thoroughly record and manage the production, distribution, and sales pathways of products, detailing where they are produced and how they reach customers. This system allows for the management of each product’s production and distribution processes at the individual or lot level. By implementing both trace forward (tracking products until they reach consumers) and trace back (retracing the product’s historical production and distribution records), the system contributes to improved product quality management and reliability. It offers a flexible traceability mechanism tailored to align with the specific identification methods of the customer’s production processes.

Benefits

  1. Enhanced Quality Control
    By implementing a traceability system, the history of each process is recorded, allowing for quick identification of the causes of defects or anomalies. This strengthens quality management and helps prevent the distribution of defective products.
  2. Accelerated Recall Response
    In the event of a product issue, the trace-back feature allows for the quick identification of affected lots or products, enabling prompt recall actions. This minimizes the impact on customers while maintaining the company’s reliability.
  3. Efficient Inventory Management
    The system provides real-time visibility into the distribution pathways and inventory status of each product, facilitating efficient inventory management. By optimizing production and distribution, it helps prevent overstocking and stock shortages, contributing to cost reduction.
  4. Regulatory Compliance and Strengthened Compliance
    The traceability system serves as a crucial tool for compliance with regulations in industries such as food and pharmaceuticals, where strict oversight is required. The easy access to historical data allows for quick responses to audits and inspections.
  5. Increased Customer Satisfaction
    By sharing traceability information with customers, the system demonstrates product safety and reliability, thereby enhancing customer satisfaction and trust.
